Why inner transition elements have coloured ions? |
|
Answer» Answer: The reason why TRANSITION metal in particular are colorful is because they have unfilled or either half filled d orbitals. There is Crystal field theory which EXPLAINS the splitting of the d orbital, which SPLITS the d orbital to a higher and LOWER orbital. Now, the electrons of the transition metal can "jump". |
